FringeReview UK 2025

A Moon for the Misbegotten

An outstanding, unmissable production.


A. A. Milne The Truth About Blayds

A classic revival of a minor classic. Pacily directed and with a consummate cast, this production couldn’t be bettered


Adrian Lukis Being Mr Wickham

There’s nothing more charming or endearing in the West End this summer.


Bacchae

An absolute must-see.


Chekhov Three Sisters

There’s a rapt self-communing in this production of Three Sisters. A must-see, it glows long after you’ve left it.


Don Giovanni

A first-rate version, worth dashing to Dalston for.


Euripides Medea

This Medea deserves its fame. A must-see, though nearly sold-out.


Extraordinary Women

For a bijou summer in a bottle, this can’t be beaten. Exquisite, painfully funny, and hinting at the depths Mackenzie found to his own chagrin. A gem.


In Praise of Love

There’s every reason to see this rare gem, now added permanently to Rattigan’s finer plays.


John Joubert Jane Eyre, Grimeborn Opera

A gripping romantic opera premiere emerging right out of Dalston. Arcola’s Grimeborn have scored another first with a future.


Rhinoceros

Don’t miss this. It’s provoking, wholly in spirit, with moments of great power.


Salomé

Sheer spectacle powers this through, with a twist of unease for having seen it.


Sense & Sensibility

Austen fans can feel they’re delivered the story’s heft, if not all its socially pinched circumstance. It’s a small gem.


The Crucible

A unique, unforgettable revival.


The Devil May Care

Do see this particularly for an outstanding performance from Burrows and an exceptionally fine one from Woodhouse. This adaptation remains an exhilarating reminder of what a difference a century makes.


The Importance of Being Oscar

Alastair Whatley takes the joy of the sorrow, and makes it his own. Unmissable if you can squeeze in.


Top Hat

The most joyous musical of the summer. And it has a summer heart that never cloys. A sizzling must-see.
